The almost round beans are white with an off-white undertone and dark purple veining. A fast-growing, climbing bean with striking red and white variegated pods. The harvest is remarkably large, even in less favorable years. Expect a tasty bean with a soft texture. This variety has an old German history and was saved from oblivion by Tamara (Tara) Clement from Sudbury (Ontario, Canada).
